  • Patent number: 11569795
    Abstract: A resonator device includes a quartz crystal substrate, a resonator element including a first excitation electrode arranged on a first surface of the quartz crystal substrate, a second excitation electrode arranged on a second surface of the quartz crystal substrate in opposition to the first excitation electrode, and first and second pad electrodes that are arranged on the first surface and are coupled to the first and second excitation electrodes, a base including a substrate and first and second interconnects arranged on the substrate, a first bonding member bonding the first pad electrode to the first interconnect, and a second bonding member bonding the second pad electrode to the second interconnect. The first and second bonding members are arranged such that a first imaginary line that passes through a centroid of the resonator element and is parallel to an X axis is interposed between the first and second bonding members.

  • Patent number: 11264950
    Abstract: A vibration element includes: a quartz crystal substrate having a first vibration part and a second vibration part; a pair of first excitation electrodes formed at two main surfaces of the quartz crystal substrate, at the first vibration part; and a pair of second excitation electrodes formed in such a way as to sandwich the second vibration part in a direction of thickness of the quartz crystal substrate, at the second vibration part. At least one second excitation electrode of the pair of second excitation electrodes is formed at an inclined surface inclined to at least one of the two main surfaces.

  • Patent number: 11183986
    Abstract: A resonator element includes a quartz crystal substrate including a first surface along an X axis which is an electrical axis, a second surface along the X axis, and a side surface, a first excitation electrode, a second excitation electrode, a first coupling electrode, a second coupling electrode, a first extraction electrode that couples the first excitation electrode and the first coupling electrode, and a second extraction electrode that couples the second excitation electrode and the second coupling electrode. In plan view, a virtual extension region is obtained by extending the first excitation electrode along the X axis.
